After brekkie it was onto Menton which is a lovely little town just before the Italian border. Menton is a much more down to earth place than its neighbours and more our scene. We found a park right on the beach and went for a wander and took in sum much needed sun. Next stop Italia!!<br>

... and not campervan parking friendly. We found a picture perfect stop just after Monte Carlo at the top of a hill overlooking the Med. We had the place to ourselves so we russelled up some brekkie in the sun which was lovely, so much so we were in t-shirts!!!

... wine bottle and then we thought they were off on the trail, but no they got in the car and drove on! <br> At the end of the gorge we joined the road towards Cannes, which was route Napoleon, orginially created by him as a pass through the mountains...very windy. Our destination for the evening was Grasse where we found a good park overlooking the city lights and our first view of the Med.

... Sailboats were docked at the marina (knez, it made me think of you). Diane ordered mussles and Jon and I had our first mussels ever. They were delicious. Thank you Diane for helping me discover my love for sea food. St-Tropez was further than we thought, but thank god we ...

... I worked really hard, and it was noticed. Sandrine, my boss, Alan, the creative director of Versace and Campbell, the director of volunteers constantly told me how hard I was working and how impressed they were by my leadership skills. I was told I would be one of the only volunteers allowed in the tent during the dinner and I got to choose who could come with me. Since Ross already volunteered for another job, to shuttle the press from Cannes and back in buses ...

... at Ross' school with Ross, his friend Michael and a random French guy. I felt bad because I was on the French guys team and I wasn't very good. We still won though! Ross also visited me in Antibes and I showed him around a little bit but it was raining, so I want to take him around the peninsula on a pretty day. That is where I run on most days and it never gets boring to me. I also have to remind myself that it is the Mediterranean Ocean, not the Pacific and that ...

... and turns its way up the hill, and was a lovely place to start our day. After Grasse we headed for Gourdon, on up the hills until we spied the town ahead of us in an "eagles nest" like location (very similar to Guadalest in Spain).
